It's not that hard. The price hikes were also abrupt, albeit smaller. Also, the existence of USS on the car is binary. You can't deny the people who bought at the highest price level and don't have USS are not only r easily identifiable, but also the worst off. If you bought at any of the Q3 and non-discounted Q4 prices, you get your pick of some perks that have an "on paper" cost of $3k-6k. So EAP, Acceleration Boost, a bunch of supercharger miles, extended warranty, and/or lifetime premium connectivity.Who is eligible for these perks? How far back do you go?
Further, you announce a guarantee that all non USS cars will have the Parking and Summon features restored with X months, with free retrofits if it proves not possible.
Without the above, I can't trust Tesla again as a customer because I have first hand evidence that they sold me a car that was more expensive than any version of it ever, failed to deliver feature parity with previous and future cars, and don't value goodwill (so why should I?).
You either bought at base price X, Y, and Z or didn't. The days don't matter. You either have USS or not, the days don't matter. This isn't hard. At best, it reduces the butthurt greatly amongst people who _just became your customer_. After sales treatment has value.What do you do about the guy at day N+1 who now becomes equally butthurt that he just missed out based on the new arbitrary line you've created?
There's always supercharger miles, premium connectivity months, amd/or Tesla Shop credits. We know that stuff is marked up anyway.What about people who already paid for the features or services you're now demanding for free?
Where there's a will, there's a way. Right now, Tesla is showing me they don't even have a hint of the will.
